Recipe Specifics

Notes:

This is a re-brew of West Coast IPA #1, which took first place in two separate competitions winning best IPA in both Washington, DC and Baltimore competitions over 60 other IPAs. I later re-brewed this recipe, with little changes.

The small 10 minute addition are a normal in boil, the big 10 minute additions are added at flameout for 30 minute hopstand.

Cold crashed in primary for a for a day (set to 34) to drop some crap out.

Had problems with the keg, the poppet on the liquid post was bad. Hopefully no oxygen got in while I was fixing it.

Fermentation:

Dry Hopping:

First dose of 56 grams Simcoe and 28 grams Citra in bucket loose, cold crashed and used a bag over the siphon to get a clean rack into a keg.

Removed first dose of hops, cleaned sanitzed hop bag and added second dose of 56 grams Simcoe and 15 grams Citra put in keg and left at 64 F for a day then put in keezer (idea is that I may be getting a little more out of the hops at room temperature for a day).

Hey Scott,

Great blog. Am I right in saying that fro this recipe the Simcoe you add 10 minutes before the end and the centennial and Citra during whirlpool? Can I whirlpool these additions for 30 mins?
Also out of curiosity what quantity of water do you use to get to your 6 gallons? These 6 gallons are what go into your fermenter?
